Joke of the Day: 5-2-2010

Published: Feb 05, 2010 - 07:27 PM

A man takes his place in the theater, but his seat is too far from the stage.

He whispers to the usher, "This is a mystery, and I have to watch a mystery close up. Get me a better seat, and I'll give you a handsome tip."

The usher moves him into the second row, and the man hands the usher a quarter.

The usher looks at the quarter, leans over and whispers, "The wife did it."

    New Chitinase Inhibitors

    Effective imitation: chitinase inhibition by chitobiose and chitotriose thiazolines.

    Image: Di- and trisaccharide analogues of the oxazoline intermediate formed during enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin were found to be potent inhibitors of chitinase A. The high affinity and enzymatic stability of a readily synthesized thioamide trisaccharide (two molecules of which are shown in the enzyme active site), and the mechanism-based mode of inhibition, make this analogue a promising candidate for broad-spectrum chitinase inhibition.
